MD - Hello Poetry

A mother dead
A father broken
Children breaking down

A foggy night
A last goodbye
They never made a sound

No one's okay
No one will speak
There are no words left to say

No more hugs
No more fun
No more light of day

How Can I Stay Strong When No One Else Is?

Don't scream
The dark can't stay forever
Lay your head on me
I know your heart is severed

Don't cry
In the end you'll be okay
Let me carry some of your weight
I am here to stay

Don't worry my darlings
You don't need to weep
I am always here for you

Don't scream
Don't scream
Don't scream

Make It Stop

My eyelids keep closing
My head is waiting
For me to fall asleep
So I can dream about you
I don't want to sleep
I don't want to dream
The dreams I have of you
Often turn to nightmares
Once I wake up
And realize that
You aren't here beside me
I guess you never really were

It's Been Weeks//Will This Feeling Ever Fade?

The snow still kisses the pavement
It feels like it's been years
The winter always comes too soon
And stays much too long
The hot chocolate is no longer enough
To fill the coldness that lives
Inside of me
I freeze every year
Summer comes
And just as I start to thaw
The frozen days
Roll around
Once again

Can I Call This Poetry?

Maybe I'm going insane
The medicine is working anymore
It's 4am and I'm screaming your name

Maybe I'll just run outside
I don't care how cold it is
I need to feel something
Besides this ******* numbness

My hands are shaking
My head is spinning
Am I high?

I see you on my ceiling
You're telling me to go
Eventually I just
Go

All That I Want

I don't want romantic relationships
Or sadness that consumes me
I don't want to feel dead all the time
I want dancing
Bottles of whiskey
And shady motels
I want late nights in the car
With all the windows rolled down
Screaming loud for everyone to hear
I want crazy parties
I want to feel alive again

Is It Still On Purpose If I Couldn't Control It?

Those pills I swallowed
Were supposed to do the job
Supposed to wash me away
Take me to somewhere safe
Instead
I found myself in a large hospital room
With nurses and doctors
Surrounding me
I did what I was told
And I recovered as well
As I possibly could
I'll never purposely
Try to hurt myself again
But when I'm walking alone
I don't know if
I can control
The urge to walk
Right in front
Of that car
